Review of Free Samples (2013) by Rex A — 15 Sep 2013

Hungover college drop out Jillian (Jess Weixler) is roped into handing out ice cream samples for a day by a friend in need; a day that turns out to be an eventful one as it sees Jillian's sordid relationship with Danny (Keir O'Donnell) ruined, at the same time as a new romance blossoms with intellectual bar pick-up Tex (Jesse Eisenberg, good but typecast).

That 99% of the film takes place around an ice cream trucked parked in a parking lot gives this the feel of a theater play, one that relies completely on Weixler's performance. Luckily, she does provide a great performance, managing to be charming even while being rude to oddball customers and a jerk to visiting friends.
